Desert Control Achieves Major Milestone with First Full Golf Course Deployment

Desert Control, a pioneering company in water conservation technology, has recently marked a remarkable achievement in its journey by successfully completing its first full golf course deployment. This milestone was reached at Woodland Hills Country Club in California, and it represents the largest single project within the golf and turf management sector to date. This deployment not only showcases Desert Control's innovative approach but also establishes a new standard for scalable solutions in water conservation across large landscapes.

The project signifies a significant transition for Desert Control from pilot projects to full-scale commercial execution, demonstrating the company's capabilities to operate efficiently at scale. Utilizing their unique Pay-As-You-Save (PAYS) business model, clients can now adopt Desert Control's solutions without any upfront costs. Instead, they pay monthly based on the savings generated through improved water conservation measures. This model not only facilitates immediate financial benefits for clients but also ensures a sustainable revenue stream for Desert Control, ultimately leading to predictable income and steady growth.

At the Woodland Hills Country Club, over 43 acres of fairways, tees, and roughs have been treated with Desert Control’s water-conserving technology, seamlessly integrated into the existing irrigation systems. This method has proven to be both effective and unobtrusive, allowing for significant reductions in irrigation needs—up to 50%—while maintaining excellent turf and playing conditions. The immediate realization of water savings has set a new benchmark for sustainable turf management, showcasing how innovative practices can be incorporated into existing frameworks.

The company’s recent achievement has attracted further interest, especially as the deployment received favorable recognition from major water agencies including the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. These endorsements not only validate the effectiveness of Desert Control's solutions but also enhance the appeal for clients eager to embrace both environmental responsibility and fiscal prudence through water conservation.

Marty Weems, Managing Director of Desert Control Americas Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the project, calling it a turning point for the company. He noted that the successful deployment not only proves Desert Control's capability to execute large-scale projects efficiently but also sets a strong foundation for future expansion in the golf and turf sector. With plans to implement similar projects at Berkeley Country Club later this year, the company is poised to accelerate its growth and further build on the momentum generated by the Woodland Hills project.

This first completion has not only affirmed Desert Control's innovative practices but also opened the door to potential collaborations across various segments, such as parks and sports fields. By successfully executing this large-scale project, Desert Control is establishing itself as a leader in environmental sustainability within the golf and turf management industry, ready to address the increasing need for resource conservation in the face of global climate challenges.

As Desert Control continues to pave the way in this essential sector, it is inspiring others in the industry to reconsider their approaches to water usage and conservation, ensuring a greener future for both recreational and professional landscapes.
